To fly for-hire, you'll need the commerical certificate and a
second-class medical. Only the ATP ticket requires the first-class, and
most airlines will want you to have the ATP before considering you
(although there are TONS of aviation jobs that only require a commercial
cert).

i have version 20/30. If i have to wear to wear glasses to get the version
20/20. can i still be an airline pilot ? can airlines pilot wear glasses?

Yes, the only requirement is that your vision be correctable to 20/20.
Your medical certificate will indicate that you have to wear corrective
lenses while exercising its privileges.

I am still 16 years. so do u know if there any chances i can improve my
version from 20/30 to 20/20 ?

Depends on what ocular condition you've got. Most types of
nearsightedness and farsightedness can be corrected fairly easily with
LASIK surgery, and the techniques for astigmatism correction are
improving, too.

I'm not sure how the FAA deals with people who have had these surgeries;
whether they require a SODA or not.

And i want to know what is the require height. ?

There's no specific height requirement, and almost anyone should be able
to fit just fine.
